who said it was a successful launch?

Just because some people doesn't have insane queue and 2002 error fiasco it doesn't mean there isn't any issue. It is quite disturbing that there are still quite a few fanboys who support SE team on this and call it as a successful launch... I understand they take this insane queue issue seriously but they need to do way better. Stop blaming on users and fix your things. Giving away free game time allowance, which kinda pointless with this queue, isn't going to make anyone happy.

it was very successful

I don’t think organising a 7 day refund for all active players and having to perform countless maintenances and provide a multitude of announcements from the director with more still to come as the issues are yet to be fixed as a success

I would give it 11/10 even with the queues.

It's extremely successful, yes.

It is a successful launch.
Everyone is able to play, just not as much as we want to.
The server are stable and I have not experienced any bugs.

And when you don't have the time to play in the evening, have you tried to go to bed early and play for a few hours in the morning?
Even on a Sunday at 11am you have no queue.

I'm playing everyday on Crystal, Aether and Chaos and so are the thousands of people flooding the servers. They are constantly full I suspect you're noticed the queues right? The negativists on this forum can continue to push their narrative but to say that people aren't playing is laughable.

That's not to say that those who can only play in prime time are having fun but even those of us who can play at other times are getting in with prime time queues as well.

It's a matter of perspective I guess. They have record numbers of people playing the game and it is the biggest launch they've ever had. People love the story, the content is great, the actual game servers have been quite stable (at least, going by Crystal as it's my data center) whilst obviously there's login issues.

The only hindrance on this launch is not having enough servers to handle the spike in population. But in every other aspect? It's great. So I think you can call it a success overall, but there is one failure that does affect a lot of people and I'm disinclined to have that take away from the stated success because it's beyond their control.

Objectively it’s successful, it’s still made a lot of money and the reviews from people who have gotten to play are mostly glowing; I think it subjectively changes from person to person, though.

You know whats disturbing? The amount of people making new threads about the exact same thing. And any time somebody with a different experience comes in, they are called a Fanboy or a White Knight because how dare they not agree with OP and everyone else who is mad like OP.

The game Absolutly had a successful launch. Dont discount other peoples experiences just because you yourself are unfortunately not having the same experience.
